The President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic could travel to The Hague as a key witness in the trial against former KLA leaders, the director of the International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies, Zijad Becirovic announced, the Pristina-based Klan Kosova reported.
Becirovic said that the President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic could be testifying as a key witness due to his personal relations with Hashim Thaci and others and that his testimony could be a confirmation of Albanian actions – military and political.
Milo Djukanovic’s participation in the proceeding was inevitable because he was involved in the decision to send military and police forces to the territory of Kosovo. He is the only living witness who could truly testify about the events in Kosovo and the region – Becirovic said, Klan Kosova reported.
Becirovic also said that he was not surprised by the confirmation of the indictment against two former top representatives of the KLA, Hashim Thaci and Kadri Veseli, claiming that both of them would be held accountable for obstructing the work of the court.
“There will be one particularly aggravating circumstance – if it is proven that they (ab)used veterans’ associations to obstruct the work of the court.”
Becirovic added that the indictments would be extended to several other Albanian leaders, especially from Northern Macedonia, who actively participated in the war in Kosovo.
He noted that the general trials could take “a different turn given the pressure on prosecution witnesses and the experience of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.”
The director of the International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies also assessed that the trial process would take years given the claims of innocence of the accused.
